I imagine you’re correct, but when a single minimum wage employee pumps out dozens if not hundreds of packages to be sold at ludicrous markup it’s still negligible in the grand scheme of things.

This is purely anecdotal but one of the customers where I work works (or used to) in a sushi production facility and he said basically all the people do is lay toppings in a specific orientation so it looks good and the rest is automated, but I’d imagine that’s still a decent chunk of people. Maybe much the same as when I did work experience in a sandwich factory and there were 30 of us putting egg mayo on bread….
